NO BIAS: the G nexus vs G S2

I gave my wife my old Nexus One. Recently she dropped it and cracked the screen, badly. The phone still works as well as the touch.
But if I were to get her a new phone as a gift, which one would be a better choice nowadays?

STOP POSTING THESE THREADS AND READ THE OTHERS, please.
Buy a Galaxy Nexus, you won't be disappointed.

Give her your phone and get yourself a Nexus

Galaxy Nexus
or possibly Galaxy Note if a larger phone is preferable

I own a galaxy nexus and i have no complaints whatsoever....like...at all.
But if you don't already own the galaxy nexus...i would get the galaxy s III...its rumored to have a quad core exynos processor and IMO get that...its a newer phone and probably the same price.
@people getting annoyed at these threads - this is a FORUM...for people to post questions and comments...if you don't like it don't comment and clutter the thread with useless posts.

Imo galaxy nexus is better in every possible way, but I think s2 has better design. More professional look

Since this is the gn forum then most will blindly suggest the gn.
Assuming your wife is not a techy person (u gave her an old nexus one), i think the gs2 would suite her better. Better camera (women love taking pictures right) and sd card support (for even more pics and media) and now has official ics.

Actually I disagree. Gnex has faster shutter speed. Which means almost never miss the moment. My gf always *****es about blurry shots. I never have this issue with my Gnex

what do i expect? them to be better than the older model SGSII, which they certainly aren't.

get her a nokia 5110 thats undestructable! hehe just jokin!! wait till the sgs3 gets out, get yourself the gsg3 and give her your nexus and wrap her hands with 2 sided tape!

If you want a non biased opinion, don't post your question in the G-Nex forum. LOL...
That said, I would recommend getting the SGS II. It's smoking fast, thin, and has gorilla glass. Good battery life when set up properly. Did I mention it's really fast?

S2 has better design?? When it comes to phones, nothings says "sexy beautiful" better than a curved screen.
If you want the "professional look" get something with a physical keyboard.

i'd say S2 out of the box is more user friendly to ladies
not everyone knwows how to appreciate vanilla android
speaking from personal experience, i bought her a new Gnex for her and i use her S2
well, i have always prefer older phone as the dev is better and more rom to choose from (i was a super vibrant user)
less than 2 weeks, she wanted her S2 back and gave me back my Gnex. LOL
she think S2 is more user friendly and has better quality pix

Barring the screen, which is almost as good as the Gnex, I would say SGS 2, as it is miles better than the nexus. SGS 2 is a lot faster.
Camera on Nexus isn't really good enough for a phone, SGS2 Camera is miles better.
SGS 2 is an 9/10 phone, the nexus is a 7/10 phone.

looking at switching from GS2 to GNEX

The Main reason I am thinking of switching over this phone is because development on the gs2 isnt really kicking anymore and I love switching thru roms on my phone. what do you guys thing about the dev situation on this gnex? looks like there is alot going on here to me.
Thoughts?

Lots of roms that are similar and some stock aosp roms that will be obsolete when ota arrives. My favorite is the codename android one. Obviously cm9/10 as well

Cant beat a nexus device and go with team baked. I believe they will be updating later today. I dont know how to share a profile from google+ but if you go to teambaked rom or teamicemods.com on the site you can see it.

I came from an epic touch 4 G and never looked back I love the Galaxy Nexus and can't wait to the new 1 is revealed!!

There's so much going on w/ the gnex, you can't keep up w/ it all. Always something to try if you don't like what you tried...different flavors for everybody. The only problem w/ having a gnex is you may become a crack flasher...

I hardly stick to one rom. So many to try, n most of em are frequently updated. I found the lack of kernel choices in the s2 forum.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

You'll be happy. Aosp just works on this phone. You pretty much never see a what works and what doesn't in any of the ROM threads. There's also no weird bugs or reason to flash back to stock Like to get a GPS lock or update the prl like many of galaxy s2s have to do.
Even with the higher resolution screen and different GPU the galaxy nexus still runs ICS and jellybean much smoother than the s2 in my experience. I have ran cm9 on an epic 4g touch with that my friend has. It is so much less buggy and smoother on the galaxy nexus.

Had a GS2. Screen is crap compared to GNEX. You won't be sorry. Performance is great.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

My other half has a SGS2. I personally think the phones are roughly equal.
GNexus has a better screen but the S2 has a better camera. Roms for GNexus are more stable but S2 has proper dual boot kernels etc. In terms of performance I find them about the same.
It'll be more of a sidegrade than an upgrade, but it's great owning a Nexus device and getting the latest Android updates right away.

I switched from a GS2 to the Galaxy Nexus because I wanted the HD screen.
Other than that, the experiences really aren't much apart.
The GS2 will forever have a special place in my heart as the exynos proc they used is such an amazing piece of technology.
Still, and will always remain the fastest GB phone ever produced.

I switched from a GS2 to a Galaxy Nexus when I dropped my GS2 and destroyed it. It's not the biggest upgrade, but I love the HD screen and how smooth it is. I just wish it had the GS2's camera. My only complaint.

I switched to the galaxy nexus and gave my gf my sgs2, both are great phones, I'm happy with my choice and stable ROM development is a plus

undecided to buy Galaxy Nexus

I still want to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250, i'm fanscinated by its 4.6-inch, 720 x 1280 pixels Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
But i have several question.
is it having a nice battery time? Is the dual-core processor making everything run smoothly?
How about the auto-rotate feature?
(attached the link here: http://dx.com/p/samsung-galaxy-nexu...uper-amoled-wi-fi-and-gps-black-118551?item=4 , so you can get the correct one and give me suggestion), thanks!

Whether it's running you apps smoothly depends on what you will be running, but the processor is pretty good.
Battery time, about 3-4h screen on time, depends on how you are going to stretch it.

The battery time varies depending what you having running in the background (apps, widgets, etc) but for it gets me through a day no problem.
With the new version jellybean its very smooth. Im not sure how it is for 3d gaming because I don't play those.
And yes, it does auto rotate nicely.

I really like this phone, but with Google's big announcement upcoming with perhaps the announcements of the release of the new smartphone and phablet Nexus models, you might want to wait since there's nothing worse than buyer's remorse.

I have determined that smartphones these days are all about the user experience. The Gnex is behest of any nonsensical bloatwares that mfg loves to apply on an otherwise good phones (you know those ones). Google intends the Nexus devices to be pure unadulterated Android experience. As such it runs fast and smooth.
Add the large dev community behind it that constantly create new roms and kernels for it. Therefore the Gnex will continuously improve.

With the Galaxy Nexus, you can also be certain that most apps will run great on it. Not just because of its pretty great specs,but also because because the Gnex is often regarded as the benchmark phone when building an app.
One downside I can think of right now is probably the not-so-stellar live wallpaper performance, especially the scrolling ones. Even on jellybean, some of the stock live wallpapers still trails behind when navigating between homescreens.

Trust me, you will not be disappointed. And for the price? It's a friggin steal. Everything is super smooth. If you are gonna root (which I hope you will) there are plenty of roms that increase performance. But even if you don't, it is extremely smooth, all round.
Developer support is unmatched
But, if you are willing to spend some more cash, I'd say wait for the Google announcements. We'll definitely be seeing at least one more nexus.

Hi there, I'll always vouch for a device released by Google. You should definitely get this phone cos you'll be guaranteed OTA updates without the bloatwares other device manufacturers add to their versions of Android or you could wait for the next Google phone which might be coming out soon.

Switch between nexus and gs3, need advise.

I won a free galaxy s3 for Christmas through my job(sprint) but i currently have a galaxy nexus. I'm torn between the two. The gs3 has more ram and a faster processor but little to no support for 4.2. Im addicted to 4.2 and most the ROMs for the gs3 or in some form based on touchwiz which i absolutely hate. From a quick look the ROMs based on aosp or cm10 are either still in the early stages of beta or not enough attention is given to developer or his work to motivate for further development. I guess im just spoiled by such a broad range of choices with nexus devices that I'm having to come here to ask for advise or input on what you guys think about the gs3 as a daily phone vs the gnex.

I'd say at this point in time of you can handle the wait you should wait for 1080p devices. 720 is more than adequate but just like the jump from 30 to 60fps there is a difference.

We don't know yet one of the big unknowns: Given that 720p reduces the screen on time, what's the battery life gonna be like with 1080p?

Pixels have nothing (or at least very little)to do with it its the display size, brightness and tech that affect battery life. Resolution is unchanging.

But the GPU needs more juice to push more pixels. Granted that they are using smaller nm scales for SoCs now which means more performance for less power however the extra effort for the resolution could negate this. Let's hope you're right and at worst battery life stays the same!

My nexus performs MUCH better than the GS3 ever did for me, granted, I was on T-Mobile, but Touchwiz and 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are dreadful. I got a ton of FCs on the GS3 as well.

Upgrade to GNex or?

Hello Gnex owners!
I've been using my Nexus S for some time now and I believe it's time for upgrade. I was thinking Gnex because it is cheap but I need your opinion. If there are any previous Nexus S users here, you do know that after Jelly Bean arrived, NS became too laggy to support it and it was terrible. People reverted to ICS.
So,
1. How fast is your phone today on 4.2.2, how often does it lag, crash and so on...
2. How fast is it compared to Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?
Selling my Nexus S and adding not a lot of money does get me Galaxy Nexus, so I'm pretty excited. Or get Galaxy S2/Note 1? Thank you!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

1.Phone is as fast as i need it to be. It lags occasionally if i play a game like gta iii, but I'm not a big gamer.. Doesn't ever seem to crash, unless i'm experimenting.
2.As far as side-by-side comparisons, The nexus 4 is only about 4 months old; the galaxy siii is about 11 or twelve months old, and the gnex is about 16 months old; Things change quickly in the phone world. So you have to keep in mind the time frames.
If you're seriously considering a galaxy sii, I'd go for the galaxy nexus. Why haven't you mentioned something like the htc one x, etc.?
All in all, I think I'll be quite happy with this phone for another year or so.

No lags on a daily normal usage for me. Even when there is lag while running a lot of apps it‘s nothing that‘ll make you crazy.
None of the games like NFSMW or GTA III lag or slowdown noticably.
If I were you, coming from the Nexus S I‘d have upgraded to the Nexus 4 than the GSIII or even the Galaxy Nexus.

for the right price def do it!

I made the switch from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus because of the JB lag you mentioned, and I couldn't be happier. I never even considered getting a Nexus 4 because my phone works so well.

Former ns4g user here. I was in the exact same situation as you and made the leap back in December. Speed and smoothness are fine for me (don't play games). I think for the money/android experience, there's no better way to play it than to annually upgrade to 1-gen old nexus devices. I'm generally happy, but must say that I thought the ns was the ideal form factor. I even went back to my ns4g on a slimmed down Rom for a while before finally deciding to sell it. I just use web,email, maps, and a few apps, so the larger screen didn't add much to my user experience. Whatever though, I digress ... if you get the gnex, you'll be happy with 4.2.2

I'll be honest and say that i do miss my Nexus solely for development purposes. You'll always be ahead in the game with the Nexus. I have a S3 now and the only complaints I have are development community, I wish it was bigger. There is a ton of pros and cons though so you have to go with what suits your needs not everyone else's. My main reasons for getting rid of it were camera and no external SD card but I should have kept it around to mess with. All around it was an awesome phone though and if for some reason my S3 broke and that's the only phone I could go for I would be just fine with it.
Sent From My Galaxy SIII

I like the phone so much I just bought an used one for the wife.

personally my opinion is that if you plan to keep the phone for about 2 years or so, spend extra 100 and get a Nexus 4. The reason is that while the Galaxy Nexus is fast enough, with new software update, it can bring it down a little bit. I have used Galaxy Nexus and feel it is a bit slower than the newer Snapdragon S4 based phones due to the CPU. In addition, the Nexus 1GB RAM is fine now but with next round of OS update, it may not be.
It is no doubt that Nexus 4 should support the upcoming Key Lime Pie (or whatever is called) and probably so would the Galaxy Nexus. While Galaxy Nexus will run KLP fine, I think you may possibly ended up feeling that it is a bit too slow once the software hits while the Nexus 4 won't. In addition, with N4, you would also be able to keep it a bit longer and enjoy the future software updates.

if you're on verizon, gnex is a good bet to switch. i was in verizon yesterday and none of the phones they have interested me. if you're looking for a gsm phone, nexus 4. i'm on verizon so nexus 4 is not in my future, but i'm very happy with my gnex being over a year old already.

Verizon has nexus 4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I got my phone around November 2012 for free with Verizon. Though a year old I have to say that it is still blazing fast. If your looking for a great looking phone, this is it. There is a bunch of phones that are much faster than the Galaxy Nexus but don't let this deter you. It runs 4.2.2 super smooth under clocked. I'm sure it will run the next update just as fast. The nexus 4 is a great phone but depending on what you do, the extra speed is a little overkill.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Nope, I'm in Europe, so I'm one of those who have to buy unlocked phones, no contracts or anything. Personally, my Nexus S is pretty fast, but after using my sister's S3 for a while the screen became to small, the phone itself became too small. I gave it a thought and I don't think speed will bother me that much on it. I won't play any games except Temple Run or something like that, I use Nexus 7 for high quality games like Real Racing or Deadzone.
I can sell Nexus S for 150€ and get new Galaxy Nexus for 260€. Nexus 4 is only sold by retailers here, and you can imagine how big the price is. At least 400-450€, Note 2 and S3 are cheaper! Evil retailers. Second hand Galaxy Nexus is no more than 220€.
So yes, thank you all for replying!
